CONGRATULATIONS to GIS Club member AJ Jain for placing in the TOP FIVE in the Tennessee ArcGIS StoryMap Contest. Find his StoryMap, COVID-19 in the Volunteer State, and other great ones, including GIS Club member Immy Nelson's A Pressing Matter: Healthcare in Rural Tennessee, at this link.
The GIS Club is for middle school students at Central Magnet who have an interest in geography and geospatial technologies. We will learn about real world applications of GIS and practice using the technology, leading to the creation of our own unique Story Maps in the spring, which may be entered into the Tennessee ArcGIS Online Map Contest. Check out the videos below to learn a little about Geographic Information Systems. Remember to bring your laptop!
